This entry is dedicated to my life.So band is going to be all inclusive for the next 3 weeks (even moreso than normal), with some event on every day (well, 2 of those are TBD) except sundays. Fun, right?It’s crazy how contradictory this comes off, because if you talk to band kids right now, about […]
IE7; the new… Firefox?
So I just installed IE7 (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx), and I must say it’s quite nice. I can already say I’m used to it.Because it’s basically Firefox.Of course, mebbe I’m just behind on the times. I haven’t used IE in quite awhile, but from what I ‘member, it was quite lacking. I then switched over to FF, which […]
Homecoming ‘0Senior
Yesterday was quite a long day, and even so, ~8 hours of sleep were sufficient. It’s kinda funny. I remember two years ago, when coming off the field from the area marching contest, I was feeling pumped. And then we got dumped, and I felt sad. But after coming off the field, I was about […]
Great Expectations
I was writing one of my college essays when I started thinking about how we live our lives. It always seems like we’re waiting for something to happen, looking forward to the next big event. During marching rehearsal, I’m looking forward to it being over, and while typing up college apps, I’m dying to get […]
Gold, you say?
“Don’t worry about any of the proper formalities. The Emperor is a very pleasant man, and understands that your culture embraces matters like this differently,” Tiberius whispered into Jenkins’s ear. They stood in the waiting room of the apparent Capitol building, where, within, the Emperor reigned over the city-state.Presently, the guards gestured the party inside. […]

Myths made real
Jenkins laughed. “Okay, I’ve heard every old pirate legend, and they’re all false, and I’ve heard a million old wives’ tales through the empire, but telling me that YOU’RE a real Roman, and that I’m on an island that Plato made up as complete horse manure…” He stopped laughing for a second, and took a […]
Since When has School been Busy?
So if you didn’t know, I’ve been home alone for about the past week (monday till this wednesday), and surprisingly, it wasn’t that bad. A couple extra things to do before going to bed, and having to deal with food a bit more (my mom left me lots of stuff in the fridge and freezer), […]
Ben Folds, anyone?

Friendly Welcome
Jenkins had never seen an island quite like this. Then again, he lived his life at the sea, with an occasional trip to port. Privateers of this age had no time for finding and burying treasures on remote islands, or having a hidden fortress in the Caribbean.“So, what exactly are we looking for, Captain?” asked […]
